CHAMBERSBURG - Chambersburg locals are about to get another slice of the action with a new pizza restaurant opening in the area.

MOD Pizza is set to open in mid-December, and will offer residents individual, artisan-style pizzas which are made to order using fresh dough and the restaurant's signature sauces. Customers can create their own salads and pizzas using a combination of more than 30 different toppings, and the price always remains the same - $7.87. The menu also includes hand-spun milkshakes, house-made lemonades, iced teas and MOD's newest item, the "no name" cake.

The building is already up, at 917 Norland Ave. near Target and Giant. Work on the interior is set to begin early this month. A large patio will wrap around half of the building, and a Wall of Fame will be installed inside to display photos from MOD's journey, unique furnishings and original artwork.

The company is committed to being an "inspired place to work," and providing opportunities for those who "are often overlooked for steady and meaningful employment," according to a spokesperson.

In addition, for every store opening, the company donates 100 percent of the pizza sales to a local nonprofit.

MOD Pizza first opened in Seattle in 2008, and has more than 250 locations across the country and in the United Kingdom.
